charlie_ Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) I got this idea when I misread Refa in IRC. I wondered about a playthrough where you had to sacrifice a unit every chapter, and how it would turn out. I decided to make it a screenshot run. THE RULES 1. Hard mode all day every day. 2. Someone must die every chapter, determined by someone else's RNG. 3. Only exceptions to the rule are the twins. Everyone else is fair game. 4. Promotions are also RNGed. But no Super Trainees. Fuck them. 5. Trainees can go to level 10 in the tower. Everyone else is out of luck. Without further ado, let's begin. [spoiler=Units]Eirika - Alive Seth - Became a ZOMBIE in Prologue Franz - Died in Chapter 1 Gilliam - Alive Vanessa - Alive Moulder -Died in Chapter 9 Garcia - Died in Chapter 2 Ross - Died in Chapter 6 Neimi - Died in Chapter 7 Colm - Died in Chapter 3 Artur - Died in Chapter 14 Lute - Died in Chapter 4 Natasha - Died in Chapter 8 Joshua - Died in Chapter 5 Ephraim - Alive Kyle - Alive Forde - Alive Orson - Became a ZOMBIE in Chapter 5x Tana - Died in Chapter 11 Amelia - Died in Chapter 14 Cormag - Died in Chapter 10 Duessel - Died in Chapter 12 L'Arachel - Alive Dozla - Alive Ewan - Alive Marisa - Alive Gerik - Died in Chapter 13 Tethys - Died in Chapter 15 Rennac - Alive Knoll - Alive Saleh - Died in Chapter 16 Innes - Alive Myrrh - Died in Chapter 17 Syrene - Alive [spoiler=Prologue]Since Seth is the only none Eirika character in the prologue, he dies by default. Thanks Valter! You made my job so much faster! It can't take him too long to die. Right? DAMNIT SETH (this happened like 12 times) And guess what? They didn't even do it right! YOU DON'T SPEND 10 TURNS TRYING TO KILL SOMEONE ONLY TO FIND HE'S STILL ALIVE CURSE YOU ZOMBIE SETH DOH I MISSED (Level was HP, Skl, Spd, Lck, Def). 14/14 turns. Yes. Killing Seth took THAT long.

PKL Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Good luck SB. Also, I hope THWOMP gets to endgame or I will cry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie_ Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 RNG decrees Franz is dead. [spoiler=Chapter 1] SHUT IT ZOMBIE SETH FACE THE THWOMP PUNY SOLDIER That went well. And that went better. Reinforcements kind of threatened me, so I back Eirika off. I'm sure Gilliam will be fi- Or not. Loving the strength Eirika. Especially since you're my only stable character right now. You can't run from a thwomp. I'm okay with this. 9/23 turns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZemZem Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 This is a really interesting idea. *hopes L'Arachel doesn't die* Have fun, SB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strunk Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 You should play through the Tower of Valni later on and kill somebody off every floor. Also, following this. It seems fun. I can't wait until you lose your best people a few chapters before the end of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie_ Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 Tower is far too dull for my tastes. That, and I would run out of units. Chapter 2 should be up in a little while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie_ Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) Stoopid parents. Anyway, Garcia is dying this time around. [spoiler=Chapter 2] Why are we listening to the corpse again? THIS IS SERIOUS BANANAS *shot* Getting Ross out of there before he dies. I cleared out most of the map before the boss could get near... Ross wasn't much help. If that had hit I would have perma benched Ross. No matter what. Bleh. Disarmed Eirika on the fort stalled Bone before I could drop Garcia off to his funeral. Why is it only the useful ones who die? In the meantime I got the villages. Eirika softens the boss up. Not shown: Ross whiffing the bosskill. He's still level 1 for a reason. 11/34 turns Route will be decided by what I think my remaining team can manage. If I'm left with Colm, Neimi and Ross I'm not chancing Ephraim route.

DragonBladeSniper Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Wait if you do this every chapter, how many people will you be left with in the end? Awesome idea by the way! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie_ Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 Probably not many. Especially after the lack of characters from 6 and 7. Colm bites the dust in this update. [spoiler=Chapter 3] It feels so empty. *sighs* Nice to see Moulder is cooperating for once at least. Ross never fails to disappoint me. Neimi isn't faring too badly, on the other hand. Such a shame, his thieving would have been nice to have around for chapter 7 and 8. And Nessie finally rolls strength. If you have a problem, throw a thwomp at it! I never said it would solve it. IRON EIRIKA SHE CRITS WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT 12/46 turns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komeiji Koishi Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 This is terrible to do to other units. If this were a draft I'd be in right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie_ Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 I bring with me an update! And a dead Lute! What more could you ask for? [spoiler=Chapter 4] Don't complain bro, the girl next to you got RNGed to die. Ross, stop being terrible. Whoa. That's funky. Nessie headed south to recruit Lute and jack her stuff. Gilliam chokepoints. Everyone else stays back and well... Things could have gone better. Something to note, this guy will not move and attack on the same turn, unless he's attacked first. I leave him be for now. I thought Moulder was meant to be bad. Not the worst I suppose. DON'T MISS THIS GUYS IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT ALL BOW BEFORE THE THWOMP Missed again. It was shit anyway. 9/55 turns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie_ Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 Why do the people who I want to live have an unfortunate habit of dying? (Lute aside). [spoiler=Chapter 5] And this gave me a wonderful idea. Seeing as how you're dying and all. Some pics exploded. Not seen: Neimi getting the Draco. Because she can. Yes! But the good levels couldn't last. (Ross' was just +Luck) Stupid bandits forced me to take a risk. This picture just looks strange. More mediocrity! And now for Joshua. He fights to the death. Anyone want to bet how long he lasts? It's not looking up for Mr Myrmidon... But he manages to pull another one out of the bag. This looks bad. And this is just pouring salt on the wounds. I don't need a picture for you to guess what happened next. Moulder, why can't you do this more often? Like in the sadist draft... And Artur takes the boss. I think it was 11 turns. 11/66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Yay 1 of only 2 arenas in FE8 [which are kinda redundant due to the Tower anyhow] kinda helped you in your death quest xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie_ Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 Meanwhile, in Ephraimland... [spoiler=Chapter 5x] There are plenty of things I could call Valter. Pleasant is not one of them. "Badly? LET'S RUSH THEM" Yeah, it's stupid. Who their right mind would launch an attack on an enemy fortress with just 3 guys? Damnit Ephraim. First order of business is to clear the starting area, then push up. Forde Javelins stuff through walls. Great job guys. Ephraim has managed to miss with 100 hit. Words cannot describe the failure. Slightly better. I spoke too soon. Even with the killer lance Forde can't do anything! Really? Not shown: Kyle getting +HP, and Orson dying to Zonta. Looks like he decided to repeat the level for us. 26/92 turns. 5x is nothing but bad units getting bad level ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie_ Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) The Boulder lives another day! [spoiler=Chapter 6] Ross makes Bartre look good. Go die in a corner, cretin. Disappointment. HAHA YES ROSS IS DEAD LONG LIVE GARCIA WAIT HE'S DEAD TOO LONG LIVE DOZLA YEAH THAT WORKS WOO DOZLA Levels are improving, our troops are high on morale after the death of Ross! NO HOW WILL NEIMI PROMOTE NOW Look who finally decided to roll strength. Fear the HORSEBIRD Natashaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ;_; NEIMI IS PEERLESS SHE TOTALLY ISN'T THE NEXT DEATH I think it was 9/101 turns.
